The project aims to promote local products of the Marche region by increasing knowledge and divulgation of their composition, microbiological and sensory features, in order to identify their distinctive features in comparison with current productions, of less value. The level of hygiene of such productions, will be also investigated and, where applicable, the possibilities of applying, innovative techniques will be considered as well, in compliance with their traditional nature. The project will include: i) a survey of data produced by our research group on the traditional/typical products of Marche region, and ii) new microbiological, chemical, and sensory analyses.
